Hillary Clinton overnight. She is taking responsibility for security failures and that deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya that left a US ambassador dead and 3 other Americans as well. ABC's Reena Ninan spoke 1 with Hillary Clinton and joins us from Lima, Peru with the latest this morning. Good morning to you, Reena.
Elizabeth, good morning. We sat down last night for an interview with the Secretary of State and we got some answers for the first time on the situation in Libya.
“Well, let me say this. I think that we will track down whoever did this and hold them accountable.”
In a series of television interviews overnight, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared to fall on her sword.
“I take responsibility. I'm in charge of the State Department, 60,000 plus people all over the world, 275 posts. The President and the Vice 2 President certainly wouldn't be knowledgeable 3 about specific decisions that are made by security professionals.”
In her first comments since the State Department acknowledged of the attack that killed US ambassador Chris Stevens and 3 others was a coordinated 4 terrorist assault, the Secretary of State said she, not the President, was responsible for lapses 5 in security. In an interview with ABC news, Clinton, who was traveling in Peru, also acknowledged that there were concerns about militants 6 in Libya.
“When did the US become aware of transnational extremist operating in the eastern Libya?”
“We have long known that extremists have come out of Libya. We understood that there would be an effort to try to reestablish a presence of extremist bases and operations. So there were something that we were very focused on and working on.”
And as for reports of the US now has special operation forces on standby in the region, ready to strike suspected terrorists.
“Will this administration be willing to strike them before US selection?”
“There's an intense effort in our government. And I think our track record is pretty good that eventually we will find you.”
Secretary Clinton told the President of Peru that she's eager to get back quickly because she wants to watch tonight's debate.
